Old Oak Common is a planned railway station in Old Oak Common, northwest London, England. The station is to be constructed on the site of the Old Oak Common railway depot, approximately 0.5 kilometres (0.3 mi) south of Willesden Junction station, with an estimated opening date of 2026. The redevelopment area around the proposed stations has been provisionally renamed New Queens Park.

The new station has been included as a part of the proposed High Speed 2 line from London Euston to Birmingham. The station would provide a major transport interchange with a number of other main line and commuter rail services, including Crossrail and the Great Western Main Line. The planned High Speed 2 line would be in a tunnel at the Old Oak Common site, with the Great Western Main Line and Crossrail tracks on the surface.

According to the proposals issued in 2010 by the Department for Transport (DfT), Old Oak Common would provide direct interchange between HS2 and Crossrail and Great Western Main Line services, including those operated by Heathrow Express and Great Western Railway.

While the station remains at the proposal stage, the following table illustrates the potential range of services, based on current DfT and TfL documentation but subject to change:

Due to the proximity of the Old Oak Common site to other lines, it has been suggested that further connections could be made with commuter rail services. The 2010 DfT command paper highlights opportunities for interchanges at Old Oak Common with London Underground, London Overground and Govia Thameslink Railway Southern's cross-London services to South Croydon and Milton Keynes Central. A report prepared by Terry Farrell & Partners for the Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham also examines these interchange possibilities and proposes the construction of an overhead light rail, automated people mover or personal rapid transit system linking "Old Oak Central" [sic] with North Acton, Kensal Green and Willesden Junction stations. However, as of 2013^[update], no actual proposals exist to create an interchange with these lines.
